Chapter 1: Rogue's Bet

"This is getting really annoying." Rogue said while rubbing her forehead, not bothering to hide her anger. Pyro had been spinning in circles for ten minutes trying to get him self nauseated and it was giving her a massive migraine.

"…but I'm so bored!" Pyro slurred dizzily.

WHAM

"OooowWW! Dammit! What in the hell-e-met is your problem? Ohhhhh I see now, you must be bored too." he nodded understandingly. "Oooo...You wanna play a game?"

"No."

"Let's play the 'who is the less competitive contest'! To win this game you must be the less competitive person amongst all the players. Howeverrrrr, trying to win this game will make you lose...and not trying to win at all will make you lose which will make you win which will...make you lose.

WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM

AHHH! Bloody hell woman...Give me a break! I'm just trying to entertain myself here!" SMACK "Can-You-Stop-Hitting-Me"

((WHAM))

"Oww...That HURT!"

"Do you mistake me for someone who gives a damn...?"

Releasing her gloved hands from her book she clenched one tightly to make a fist and then held it up threateningly close to Pyro's face. "…and if I hear someone is bored one more time I'm going to give them something really to be bored about…"

"Whatever. You want to know what I think your problem really is?" Pyro asked rubbing his sore cheek glaring coldly.

"No…" she responded sticking her nose back in her book.

"…Well your going to hear me anyways. I think your prejudice. Everyday you take out all your anger and stress...not on the Canadian, or the Irish people...you take out your anger on poor innocent Australians!"

Crossing his arms he continued."...And I being the only bloody aussie in this entire mansion, you seem to get mad at me most!" he exclaimed, slamming his fist on a nearby book shelf for emphasize.

Rogue rolled her eyes and took another sip of her coffee not paying the least bit of attention to him; she then picked up her book from her lap and continued to read it. "Who eva said Ah was prejudice sunshine? If ya want me to, Ah'll willingly trade ya fo' another in less than a heartbeat..."

Pyro pouted, "Why do I take it you don't like me?"

"Pyro…sweetie…sunshine…Do Ah look like a freakin' people person to you!"

Then suddenly, as if an invisible timer went off, they both lunged at each other...

…but before Pyro and Rogue could even begin to tear the others heads off, a very energetic voice interrupted them. "Break it up you two...it's not the time for this...Is it the weather or something or are you guys bored too? BECAUSE I'M SO BORED! There's nothing to do around here. Proof in front of me, you guys are probably fighting each other out of pure boredom."

Rogue's left eye began to twitch and Tabitha looked at her strangely, "You know! You should really get that checked out."

"Enough! How bout' you n' the crackhead beside me get ur bored asses outside n' go ta school or somethin', SO YOU CAN BE BORED OVER THERE TOGETHER, instead stayin' here still BORED n' botherin' me!" Rogue yelled. But, it didn't seem to phase the girl. Tabitha put a finger on her temple and gave Rogue a triumphed look. She grabbed her back pack from the couch and walked out the door. "Fine, I will!"

……millions and millions of seconds later……….

Pyro and Rogue sat alone in silence. A silence that OBVIOUSLEY would not last very long.

"Sooo….you bored yet?"

Tying her hair up in scrunchy she ran after Tabitha, "WAIT! Tab Ah'm comin' with ya!"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SCHOOL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

" WELL I KNOW WHEN I'M NOT WANTED!" Tabitha yelled at a bunch of cheerleaders. Rogue turned to her and in a sing song voice and said, "Ah'm not to sure 'bout that gal."

"Hey it wasn't my fault! They defiantly had it coming."

Rogue glanced quickly at the scowling bunch and snickered. "Sure they did..." Leaning against some lockers she watched as Tabitha fidgeted with her lock. When would that girl ever learn her combination?

Getting completely frustrated Tabitha started punching her locker, "ROGUE! Why did you make me come here, why, why, why, why?" she complained giving her locker one last punch, leaving a dent in the rusty metal.

Rogue took deep breath.

"Aww Ah'm soo sorry Tab, but it came to my attention just yesterday, that if ya hit someone on the head they lose brain cells...in the next couple of days ya might be losing lots. So in order for you ta still be smart enough ta talk ta me, Ah'm goin' ta make sure ya go ta school everyday so Ah don' leave ya mentally retarded. With that said... are we still goin' to the movies with Pyro tomorrow..." Hearing no response she mistakenly interpreted her silence incorrectly. "Oh well. Ah really didn't wanna go either, ya know, Pyro has been actin' lahke he's been in his own world lately...HEY! You're starting to act that way to. You're not even listening to me!"

Glancing at the wild blond it was apparent she wasn't paying the least bit of attention to her at all. Her eyes were glued on something else that seemed of much more importance.

Rogue snapped her fingers in front of Tabitha's face a couple of times...'Useless'. "HEY WAKE UP!"

Tabitha blinked her eyes, but soon glued them back to where they were earlier. She opened her mouth slightly, "But it's ……Remy."

Straight ahead was Remy and his posse. Rogue rolled her eyes twice. "My Gawd Tab. It just isn't enough that we live with the Guy." she mumbled under her breath.

"Oh Rogue, you can't tell me with a straight face that you don't think he's hot!"

Rogue put on her best poker face, "He is not hot."

Tabitha smiled, "This time look at me when you say it."

Rogue raised her face so that she was looking Tabitha straight in the eyes. She waited for good ten seconds and the said the magic words again.

"He is not hot!"

"Hey that's not fair, you took atleast ten seconds to say it!"

"Whatever." Rogue responded. Glancing at Remy she caught the cajun staring at her intently and quickly grabbed Tabitha's hand leading her to the girl's bathroom.

Tabitha slapped her forehead. "See now look what you've done! You just made it obvious to him lover girl, we went into the girl's bathroom!" With that said, she muttered something under her breath that suspiciously sounded like 'dumbass'.

"SO!"

"So the guy has the total hots for you and now he knows!"

"N' how would he know! What Ah'm Ah talkin' 'bout? What's there to know! Ah don't lahke him, remember! PLUS he wouldn't know even if Ah did lahke him which-I do NOT- cause there was the fact that he wasn' lookin at me!"

"Who said he wasn't, you weren't looking at him!"

"CAUSE AH KNOW!"

"WHATEVER! YOU NEED TO JUST STOP LYING TO YOURSELF ROGUE!"

"AH'M NOT TABITHA! AH SAID AH DON'T LAHKE HIM N'AH DON'T!

"WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO KID?"

"NO ONE!"

"I BET YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO RESIST HIS CHARM!"

"YES I COULD!"

"PROVE IT!"

"CAN YOU KEEP IT DOWN YOU TWO?" A female voice yelled from one of the stalls. The door flung open and to reveal Physlocke in the flesh. "Why are you fighting!" she yelled dryly in her British accent.

Tabitha was the first to answer, "Because Rogue likes Remy and is to damn stubborn to admit it!"

Betsy raised her left eyebrow high, "Is that so? Oh, what am I saying...she must if you two are arguing about it in the girl's bathroom!"

The southern belle began to growl softly, "You to Betsy. What's the whole deal with the gurl's bathroom? Huh? What's SO wrong about talking about him in the gurl's bathroom?"

"EVERYTHING!" They both yelled together in harmony. "What do you think we do in here Rogue? It's defiantly not to come use the restroom."

"But weren't you just usin' it a minute ago."

"No I wasn't!" Physlocke hung her head in shame. "I was trying to scratch off my boyfriend's phone number off the door! Are you happy?"

"Ohhh." Rogue and Tabitha said together. "Well nevermahnd that. How can ah prove to you guys that ah hate swamp rat…ok dislike him... very... very... much?" Rogue asked lifting her self on a random counter.

"How bout a bet?" Tabitha suggested. Betsy nodded her head in agreement, "Yes a bet is good."

"Hurry up bout it then, were goin' ta miss class." Rogue sighed as the two conversated.

Finally Betsy came to a conclusion.

"Alright I..." Tabitha shot a glare at her. "...We...ummmmm...Ok listen. You have to agree to become Remy's girlfriend for a week and after that week break up with him. But we bet you that you won't be able to do this without falling in love with the rajin cajun himself."

"That's it?" Rogue said with a half-smile.

"That's it…… but you have to be completely serious about this...so……deal?" Betsy asked as she put her hand out. Rogue took it, "Deal."
